Board of Health Charges Dismissed
The Village Board of Trustees ha.-- filed its opir.ion on the charges recently made by iJr. T. H. Evans against the Board of Health, and we publish the same in full;
"Dr. Evans, a local physician, files with the Board of Trustees certain charges agaihst the local Board of Health of the V'illage of Freeport and against the health officers.
The charges made by Ur. Evans briefly are, first, infringement of the Laws of the State; second, la.xity in enforcing the local health regulation, and third, lack of information such as every physician or health officer should be in possession of for the safety of the public.
We have carefully examined the tes¬ timony produced at the hearing before our Board of Trustees both on the part of Dr. Evans and on the part of the Board of Health, and do not lind any such dereliction of duty on the part of either the Board of Health or the Health Officers as would warrant tlieir removal by us.
While we shall briefly consider all of the charges of Dr. Evan.s, we will say at the start that the Health Officer is not an apfiointive cpriicer of thi.--. Board anil hold therefore that a.'iy charges against this officer are not jirojier'y before our Board e.^cejit in so ' far as his action may afiply to some

Board of Health Charges Dismissed
The Village Board of Trustees ha.-- filed its opir.ion on the charges recently made by iJr. T. H. Evans against the Board of Health, and we publish the same in full;
"Dr. Evans, a local physician, files with the Board of Trustees certain charges agaihst the local Board of Health of the V'illage of Freeport and against the health officers.
The charges made by Ur. Evans briefly are, first, infringement of the Laws of the State; second, la.xity in enforcing the local health regulation, and third, lack of information such as every physician or health officer should be in possession of for the safety of the public.
We have carefully examined the tes¬ timony produced at the hearing before our Board of Trustees both on the part of Dr. Evans and on the part of the Board of Health, and do not lind any such dereliction of duty on the part of either the Board of Health or the Health Officers as would warrant tlieir removal by us.
While we shall briefly consider all of the charges of Dr. Evan.s, we will say at the start that the Health Officer is not an apfiointive cpriicer of thi.--. Board anil hold therefore that a.'iy charges against this officer are not jirojier'y before our Board e.^cejit in so ' far as his action may afiply to some
